Thanks so much legend! Massively appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

[@followmetourswithainsandte9574]

Some great advise guys. Find your information very relatable and honest. You are now one of my go to channels for travelling. 👍🙏

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks so much for the nice words! Really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to check out the video

[@lindaneumann3301]

Thanks for sharing your budget. For a family of 4 with dog/s, your $700ish a month is good. Our tip is travel slow, enjoy the simple life and safe travels.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! We definitely try to travel as slow as possible around commitments. There’s definitely an adjustment period with getting your head around this when you first hit the road, it’s easy to just went to keep moving all the time.

Such an inspirational team ❤ You are both bloody legends. The pure gratitude you have for this amazing experience is so special to see. ❤

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks so much Kat. Your positivity is always massively appreciated!

[@Overweightandunderpowered]

Great job on the budget breakdown , ❤ Your videos can really see the effort that has gone into them and the hours spent behind the camera and in front of the laptop . Awesome job, guys. Very well done . 👍👌🤙

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks so much for the nice words! Definitely a lot of effort goes into them, stoked it is noticed. Thanks for taking the time to check out the video.

[@calebgrahamfilms]

Thanks for the shoutout guys! Stoked on how all the timing worked out with getting to slip in our little shoot before you left for this. Cool watching this journey, hopefully it inspires more people (myself included haha) to do this kind of thing earlier instead of waiting for retirement!

[@RoamingCoastlines]

💯 legend! That’s definitely the aim! Missing doing some of that overnight hiking, hopefully soon!

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

You are a great couple. Very sensible way of travelling. You still have your home and no debt. Fancy vans are lovely but you are both so sensible. AND we love your photography.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thank you 😊 really appreciate the nice words

[@StephLin_Stephen_Linda]

Great you are living within your budget. More videos like yours gives potential to enable families to hit the road, even for a short time. DOG BEDS: Do your dogs chew their beds, or do the beds get dirty? For our 5kg dachshund, i put a pillow protector and pillow slips. When dirty just an easy clean of the pillow slip. Keep a couple of cheap pillowslips as spares.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks so much, that’s definitely our aim. With dog beds, our main issue has been getting really dirty, beyond washing. Or main mistake was we didn’t really plan that out before we left and we went through a few sets of cheap ones. The new ones seem to be holding up much better, they just take up a bit of space. Ours used to love sleeping on pillows at home, that was something we were considering doing again. We were after something waterproof for the newest beds, as they seem to get wet a fair bit even through we try to avoid it later in the day

[@StephLin_Stephen_Linda]

@RoamingCoastlines are you heading back to Perth at any stage

[@RoamingCoastlines]

@ we are just leaving Exmouth today, got to be down Bunbury way in a few weeks, so just going to head down from here stopping at a few places on the way

[@fsparkman3343]

Good on you for getting out there. This would be more interesting if you also shared what your fuel costs clothing costs etc where before hitting the road. We are lucky enough to be retired & can head out for a couple of months then home again. So the perfect mix. We also have a pop top Jayco & we love it. It's not about the van it's about the destination. 😊 And you are right the people in the 300k set up don't see anything you don't.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

@@fsparkman3343 100% mate! Thanks so much for checking it out and taking the time to comment. We could have included that stuff, but didn’t think anyone would be too interested in what our costs were before travelling. As we said in the video but, our groceries are slightly less, mainly due to lack of choice. Fuel is significantly higher now, we didn’t do a hell off a lot of driving back at home. I’m guessing clothing etc would be a lot less now as well due to lack of opportunity to buy/ trying to limit purchases to necessities only

[@jorobson1]

It's the unplanned breakages that rattle the budget and trip plan. When you have a van or vehicle component failure it is unplanned costs and you have extra expenses of accommodation being parked up while you are waiting for repairs. We found once we hit the NT top end (Aug - end Nov) it was too hot not to have air con so we ended up doing mostly caravan parks.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

100% mate! It’s quite easy to plan out the normal stuff. Always scary thought about the more serious breakages happening. Thanks so much for watching mate!

[@craigpatten8349]

Awesome video guys, what job did/do you guys have?

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching! Ash works in software development. I worked in a leadership/ management role

[@robertwilson1827]

Some guys bat out of their league!? 😅😅😅 ❤❤❤

[@raybourne5781]

You really don’t need the fancy vans….. we’ve been lots of place with a standard van (jayco mostly)…. Even done the so called caravan wrecker road… The Gibb, not even a flat tyre….. although we are now reaching retirement age and bought a new van and put a battery system in to run the aircon amongst some other mods….. but still not the “ full on fancy vans”.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

100% mate! We are hoping to show people that you don’t need that gear to enjoy it, although the gear is nice! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@craigpatten8349]

What dog bed are you finding works best and how are you storing them?

[@RoamingCoastlines]

@@craigpatten8349 we found these current beds in a discount changing called “red dot” when we were in Karratha. They have like a water proof style cover on them and seem to be holding up so much better than others we have had. Usually when we travel they just sit on the couch. When we are set up, if the dogs are in the van, they are on the ground where the table would usually go. We kind of just move them around as needed. Hope this helps!

[@craigpatten8349]

@ I’ll check them out, we are trying to find a good bed for our two English staffys so we can boot them out of our bed.

[@RoamingCoastlines]

@ haha understandable mate!

[@CruiseandConquer]

Nice guys! I wish I was able to budget 😂 if you blew your budget what was it? Did you have a number in mine for 100 days? 17k sounds pretty good when you consider 6 lives living and travelling on the road. 🤙🏼

[@RoamingCoastlines]

Hahaha! Thanks mate! Honestly we didn’t really have a budget it mind, we are just trying to keep spending to as much as a minimum as possible. We are happy enough with the amount, a little less would be nice. Title is for the old KZbin shock value haha, it’s the only way to get your videos out there a little bit as a small creator. Have you got your van yet?

[@CruiseandConquer]

@ I was meant to be getting it tomorrow but I put it back to January 6. Gives me a little more time to prepare the house for tenants and get Xmas done and dusted etc. loving your journey so far man! I can’t wait to get the van, it won’t need anything but I’ve still got a very long list for the car 😦

[@RoamingCoastlines]

I thought it must be coming up soon! January 6 is not far away at all anyway mate. Will be so bloody exciting for you guys, keen to check it out! Honestly from what I’ve learnt on the road, the most important one to not want to do anything to is the van, that’s where you spend most of your time. I wouldn’t stress too much about getting every single thing done to the car, just what’s necessary. I reckon one thing I wish I did get was some proper layered window shades, it’s so bloody hot over here and I think they would make a great difference

[@CruiseandConquer]

@ yeah nice! I just still need some essentials done but I’ve still got 4-5 months to chip away. If I have to get some things done during the trip I can do that I spose too. We will be working and going to remote communities to work where possible too. Will be a good way to unlock some hidden gems hopefully

[@RoamingCoastlines]

@@CruiseandConquer that sounds incredible mate, I reckon you will find some absolute gems doing it that way!
